I see The Pickett Factor was by Gold Tribute--wasn't that the more expensive yearling Bob and Beverly Lewis sent to DWL, while Silver Charm stayed with Baffert?Anyway, sorry to see it end like that for a good, honest runner.

I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

Second City, the '12 BC Derby winner was euthanized after breaking down in the Caixa Electronica S on April 1st.He was out of Sis City, and had earned just short of $500,000 in a 44-race career.RIP buddy

Almoonqith was injured during the running of the 3200m G1 Sydney Cup at Royal Randwick and was euthanized on track. Because the injured horse was down on the track and couldn't be moved as the field approached the stretch, the stewards called off the race. The race caller and outriders tried to get everyone to pull up their horses, with mixed success. Fortunately, no one actually ran into the horse or those attending to him, although I guess the riders who continued racing were not pleased that their win/placings were invalid.

On top of which they ought to get days, 30 days sounds like a good starting point.
